EVIL! This really is reaking havoc on the current PTR, premade warlocks where given this spell by accident, and it is now being fixxed with the servers going down (Every non warlock is praying).

EVIL!!

If I may elaborate a little:

Warlocks were given this spell at the start of the 3.2.(7705) in addition to their normal Seed of Corruption.

This is the spell triggered when Seed of Corruption reaches the 1044 damage total on target, required to detonate Seed of Corruption, it -is- the detonation.

Essentially, it's instant cast because it's instant as soon as 1044 damage is reached, it has no cooldown and is not affected by the global cooldown because if it was, multiple detonations could not come to pass at the same time and has a 50000 yard range because 50000 yards in WoW is equal to anywhere, where anywhere means whatever target is affected by Seed of Corruption.

The kicker is, while it lacked the initial opener of the spell, it still deals the AoE damage and since the spell is only triggered by Seed of Corruption reaching that magic 1044, it can happen anywhere -including while dead- since negative effects don't simply fade when the original caster dies.

From the point where the test realm came online to the point where they took it down mere hours later to fix this bug, it was essentially used to destroy any opposition, and if opposition destroyed you, you'd just kill them before you released your spirit.
